So here's an idea.
The Government has promised some open data and maps next month:
Maybe, what we can all do, is to collect examples of how and where openly licensed content helps and we can build a case and see if and how we need to use it once they announce this?
Ummm... this is a positive move.
Of course it might be easier to collect examples of how closed licensed content helps the common weal. We may be able to find an example, maybe even two, probably in an out-of-print book, or perhaps a 2,000 year old parchment scroll. :-) If we go back farther, then we just get stuck again in open licensed content, such as Ashoka's edicts.
